Thanks for the newbie welcome. 

[Do you think we will stay up?]

My desire for my club to be a pl club next season unfortunately is not matched by the clubs ambition to be there so gutted to say its chumps for us next season. So want to be wrong and us to survive and build a team for a sustained spell in the top flight . We're up and down like a bride's nightie.

Can we please put this to bed once and for all? Our squad is not particularly young - the average age is 27 which puts us 11th in the PL. The teams we play are not young in comparison to others.  Southampton's average age is 25.6. Djenepo is 21; Holjberg 23. Most of their midfielders are 25 or under. We have one 19 year old and two 21 year olds as regulars - so does pretty much every other team.

I am so tired of hearing how our young players will learn and they should be forgiven and understood etc etc.  Farke trots that out almost every time they get bullied (which has happened about 10 times already this season) It is nonsense. The issue is whether our players, however old they are, are good enough to play at this level - at the moment they're not, otherwise we wouldn't be second from bottom.

The simple fact is that we are not competing with the more physical teams - which is most of them. If we don't do that we don't get a chance to play the style that Farke wants us to play. It is nothing whatsoever to do with how young our players are, and this is a classic case of an argument being generally accepted without any actual evidence, simply because people keep saying it.

 

 

 

 

 

Agree entirely.

They arrived when Emi came on.
